The first members’ article of the week arrives this evening as we delve into the data from Gameweek 6. We check in on Chelsea and West Brom’s new attackers, assess Everton and Southampton’s lone strikers, and cast an eye over Liverpool’s main performers in light of Brendan Rodgers’ move to a 3-4-1-2 formation at home to Norwich.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    where can I find the news on Silva? or is it still uncertain

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Also searching, just twitter rumour it seems

    2. Jacques The Lad
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      If its not in the scout tweets its probably uncertain

        smartass...what about his injury?

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          If there were news on the injury it would be on that ticker.

          the internet is a wonderful thing if people search it

      Demi posted it. Local journal tweeted that Pelle said its post match conference. Reliable source by all accounts.

    As Munich had such a good win, and it is Oktoberfest, it's time for this to come back:

    Fplstatistics says KDB won't rise as it stands, FFFix says he will, which is more trustworthy?

    1. Odikostar

      fpls

    2. Pochecinno

      Same as last night. I'd do with fplstats

      1. Pochecinno

        *I'd go

    3. sinik

      FFFix has been disappointing tbh

  4. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    so if Silva is actually fit, I may just play this and hold onto my remaining FT. have 0.8m itb, did Gomis > Martial on Sunday when he was 8m:

    ..................Butland
    ....Darmian - Williams - Kolarov
    Silva - Mahrez - Sanchez - Payet
    ......Aguero - Martial - Wilson

    McCarthy; Sinclair, Richards, Gomez

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      No need for any more more moves.

  5. KUN+10

    if not fit...silva to kdb or haz?

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'm on same dilemma.Thinking KDB but price change tonight or tomorrow

    2. Ëð
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Haz. I fancy him to have a nice run with Chelsea's fixtures turning more favourable.

    one of the goals of the season IMO, just gorgeous to watch. proper team football:
    https://www.facebook.com/uniladfootball/videos/1087225177956995/

    scored by Diego Simeone's son, Giovanni

    1. Jacques The Lad
      • 11 Years

      That defence tho...

          Don't get me wrong it's a great goal

    5. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Benteke's goal has been the best so far probably.

      I feel like lawyers abuse Anchoring bias a lot.

      1. Jacques The Lad
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        But lawyers aren't trying to make a complete and accurate argument, they're just trying to get people to accept the argument that best serves their client. Biases probably help as most struggle to see through them

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          true, but what I meant is that I feel like they abuse the notion of briefly mentioning items that the judge then instructs them to disregard, which of course is difficult/impossible to do.

            • 11 Years

    Repost:

    What to do with this lot guys? 2FTs, 0.2 itb

    Butland Schmeicel

    Cedric Kolarov Francis Gomez Saylor

    Hazard Sanchez Yaya Mahrez Westwood

    Ageuro Wilson Sakho

    1. Ëð
      • 10 Years

      There's big question marks over Gomez holding down a place now. I'd transfer for Evans.

      1. _Gunner
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        0.1 short of making this move, am thinking Gomez > Moreno
        or Cedric + Schmeicel > Moreno/Prodl + Begovic

        1. Ëð
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Ah sorry! I have the problem of needing to transfer Gomez too, just can't decide if Moreno will hold his place...

  8. Odikostar
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I have Gomis (since gw5) and Bolasie (since gw6) in my team.
    Both are very close to drop in price, so should I get rid?
    1 ft

    1. Ëð
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Hold onto Gomis, maybe ditch Bolasie 🙂

      1. Odikostar
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Already got ayew and williams btw. Taking bolasie out after one game feels like such a waste

        1. Ëð
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          You could probably afford to ditch Gomis then. Bolasie is definitely a differential, up to you what you do with him!

    • 16 Years

    So if Benteke continues to be a big doubt going into Sat...

    Benteke -> Martial
    ?

    Means keeping Coutinho this week, but leaving 2 free to do:
    Coutinho -> Pedro
    Gomez -> Evans
    Next week

    Thoughts?

    1. Ëð
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'd probably sooner consider Benteke -> Pelle. United have some tough fixtures after this GW.

      1. Connor's Calling
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, fixtures not great but not sure I'm that worried about that

        His starting spot worries me more...but surely he continues to get game time given his start. Bench tomorrow vs Town would be a + too I reckon

        Not convinced on Pelle still

      You're not alone..

      McCarthy
      Darmian Kolarov Evans
      Sanchez Sterling Coutinho Mahrez Payet
      Kun Wilson

      Bench: Ruddy, Gomis, Gomez, Richards

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years

        Very similar team to mine

        have schmeichel sagna silva ayew over ruddy kolarov sterling and coutinho

    More WC questions if you don't mind..... Thanks for the last set of replies

    (a) City fixtures are so 'nice' could Aguero be rested for CL games..... they play Newc (h) 3 days after playing away in Germany and then he plays International for Argentina 3 days before the Bour (h) game... and the Norw (h) game is 3 days before playing away to Seville.....

    (b) will Arsenal score enough of their chances to justify paying 11m for Sanchez

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I could see him subbed off after 45 or 60 if City are winning, but doubt he'll be rested. I could see him be rested with an "injury" instead of playing for Argentina, however

      1. Chelsea Dagger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        And Sanchez has this week to prove himself vs. a porous Leicester defense. Otherwise I will ship him out

    rushed into getting Martial last a couple of nights ago and now feeling like a filthy casual sheep and wish i'd given more thought to eden hazard's return to form and maybe fitting in zouma. going without payet worrying too. all in all, kinda regretting my decision

    anyone feel the same?

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Well if it makes you feel any better I'm still terrified of not having him and considering getting him for a hit. At least you got the price rises.

    6. Hits Magnet
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I did the same and it kinda forced me to use my WC 2 weeks earlier than expected. (The Gomez and Darmian situation also didn't help)...... Hazard could put a big run together

      Cheers Diva! I do agree that people are getting carried away especially when they start taking hits to get Martial. What I was getting at is that provided you aren't getting him in for his current conversion rate or because you're a Utd stan then there are very good reasons to go with him. at 8m in a position that rooney was expected to fill at the beginning of the season, at the spearhead of a team like Utd, price rises, etc...(although none of these factors alone are sufficient) I'll admit it is a slightly punt pick (disclaimer: I brought him in on a FT) but you've got to have fun.

        Thanks Optimusclyne. I wrote that on Sunday night when FPL was going into meltdown. He could be a great pick, but people were acting like it was the second coming of Christiano Ronaldo or something that night and I wanted to say "Woah, slow down a bit and think about this."

            Aye, this is the first time the current has been too strong for me but its definitely a lesson learned.

    Which combo guys?

    A) Rondon and Payet
    or
    B)Depay and Sakho

    Wba and Whm both have the fixtures, but can I go without any utd att v Sun?

    1. Hyperion
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      A of the two options but I'm not sure about Rondon, WBA don't seem to score enough.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Payet and Ighalo/Diouf?

        1. Hyperion
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah I like Ighalo for the price. But maybe Rondon is worth a punt considering the fixtures if you like the look of him (I just read the article above ^^).

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Yeh maybe go try it. Like I say whm and Wba got the fixtures.

    2. Pochecinno

      A with Berahino instead

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        He is one I looked at but playing left.

    Currently on:
    Kolarov, Evans, Cedric
    Sanchez, Mane, Payet, Mahrez
    Aguero, Gomis, Wilson

    With Ayew first sub.

    Bench Ayew or Wilson or play AOA?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Ayew 1st sub

    Who did well tonight? I noticed De Bruyne scored. Worth bringing him for free for Yaya Toure or am I better off getting someone else like Hazard?

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Get hazard if you have toure.

    2. Hyperion
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I would keep Toure, I'm actually considering buying him at the moment.

    If Silvas not classed fit...
    Swap him to Pedro for the New game for a hit? My defence is struggelling too with kompany and gomez

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Kompany supposed to be fit for sat.....and silva.

    2. Hyperion

      Who is your bench mid/forward?

  28. Pochecinno
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Who to bench out of this lot:

    Sterling Mane Ayew Mahrez Ozil
    Aguero Ighalo Sakho

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Ayew

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Ayew......would lose ozil for hazard/pedro soon

      1. Pochecinno
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I've been thinking of Ozil to Pedro for a few weeks now but can't seem to bring myself to get rid of my only Arsenal cover

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Arsenal cover is anything but essential.

      ayew
      -something not right at swansea just now

      -rest have cracking fixtures/form

    3. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks guys, that was pretty conclusive. Hazard to Ayew was my first transfer of the season and has worked out reasonably well.

    Tempted to get KdB for Yaya with extra Gomis cash.. pretty tempting

    Yaya and Azpi

    or

    KdB and Bellerin/or 5.5 max defender

    1. Hyperion
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yaya -> KDB is not worth a transfer right now imo, he looked very threatening against West Ham.

      1. Clintymints
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        KdB looked even more threatening though! Can see plenty of baps for KdB since he can actually shoot along with pass and pace

        Navas an Sterling can't shoot but get themselves in great positions, KdB can shoot and decent stats when he does play. Only concern is he's a great no.10 but Silva will likely be back so who knows
